The many lives of Moses Linville

the many lives of moses linville

or the lives of the many moses linvilles... 

moses linville was not immortal exactly although he had many cousins with the same name... 

william moses linville was the son of david jr. and nancy ragsdale... he married elizabeth nelson and was born about 1827 in forsyth county nc.... he was the father of william alexander linville, columbus frank linville, and newton linville, among others.  

william was not the husband of elizabeth hester... 

elizabeth hester married moses linville b. 1829. 

my third great grandfather moses linville, b.1813, married henrietta white. he was the father of robert lee linville and berry linville. and he was not the husband of bethania hetty cook...  he was however the son of john and sarah busby linville and the grandson of moses linville and an unknown wife....   was he the moses linville who enlisted in 1861 in surry county nc? maybe.... 

moses son of richard was born about 1760 in nc and married elizabeth johnson... he moved his family west to tennessee and died in sparta, white county. he was the father of pleasant c linville and william m linville among others...   

 moses linville b.1829 in stokes county nc married elizabeth hester and was the father of william stephen linville 1852 and newton moses linville 1867 among others... william's death certificate lists his parents moses linville and elizabeth hester... this is not the moses linville born in 1700s.  this moses died in forsyth county nc 1913.... who were his parents??? benjamin fewell linville and mary holbrook or halbrook.... 

my fifth great grand moses linville 1752-1826 was the son of thomas and hannah. wife unknown but was not elizabeth hester. he was the father of john and brace and thomas and moses 1802 among others.... he died before the civil war but may have served in the revolution or the war of 1812... 

his son moses 1802 married bethania cook aka hetty. he was my fifth great uncle. he was the father of nephe, peter and franklin among others. their daughter bethania married an owens... he was probably the moses who enlisted in the war in surry county. there may have been more than one...  he died after 1880 census... 

newton moses linville 1867 1943 of forsyth county nc, was the son of moses linville and elizabeth hester. he married faithie ellen frazier....   he was father of 

Faitha Elizabeth Linville 
Samuel Oscar Linville 
Minnie Jane Long 
William Newton Linville 
Elvie Alice Crim

1791 moses linville married catherine crim. he was the son of david sr. and dorothy fair linville. he was born in nc but moved to indiana. he was the father of sarah c brown and moses jr. 1837.     

1837 was born in indiana and apparently never married he was drafted into the union army in the war and was still living with his mother in 1880 before his death in 97. it is unlikely that he ever went to nc so you can ignore the nc based hints for him...

THE BRENT FAMILY

From the Brent family a source for my Brent ancestors
https://archive.org/stream/jstor-4242785/4242785_djvu.txt

2. Richard baptized Nov. 7, 1656, married Margaret, daughter of Sir 

John Peshall, mentioned in grandmother's will—- will dated 22 July, 
1676. Codicil 27 Oct., 1678, will proved 10 May, 1679, his wife Margaret 
buried at Illmington 22 June, 1666; 3. Giles emigrated to Maryland 

1638, married Mary , died in Virginia 167 1; 4. William, married 

Barbara and died without issue, his wife buried at Illmington, 

July 10, 1686. Concerning this gentleman, Anthony a Wood says : 
11 Henry Carey began a translation of the history of France written by the 
Count Gualdo Priorato, but died after he had made some progress 
therein. Afterwards it was finished by Wtn. Brent, Esq'r, and printed 
at London, 1677 (being the same person that had before wrote (sic), a 
book entitled, "A discourse upon the nature of eternity and the condition 
of a separated soul according to the grounds of reason and principles of 
Christian Religion" London, 1655, written while he was a prisoner in 
the Gatehouse at Westminister. It was afterwards printed there again 
in 1674.) 

By the way it must be known that though we have had several Brents 
who have been students of the University (Oxford), yet this Will. Brent 
was not, but educated when a youth in Coll. of English Jesuits at St. 
Omers. Afterwards being entered into the Society of Grey's Inn, he 
became a barrister and a solicitor or such like officer under Thomas 
Earl of Strafford, when he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was 
born at Stoke Lark in Gloucestershire, in the Parish of Illmington in 
Warwickshire, and having suffered much for his religion by imprison- 
ment, payments of money, and I know not what, lived privately several 
years at Foxcote in Warwickshire, and in his last days in London. He 
died near Little Turnstile, in Holborn in the Parish of St. Giles, in the 
Fields near London, 21 May, 1691, aged 80 years or more." 5. Edward, 
unmarried; 6. George, administrator to his father 1652, mentioned in 
grandmother's will and in conveyance 1663 as "of Defford," married 
Marianna, daughter of Sir John Peyton of Doddington, and twice

1638, was alive in 1661, mentioned in grandmother's will; 8. Mary 
emigrated to Maryland 1638, died about 1657; 9. Catherine, baptized 
Aug. 25, 1630, died Nov. 1, 1640; 10. Elizabeth; 11. Eleanor; 12. Jane; 
13. Ann, baptized Aug. 7, 1637, at Illmington. 

Issue of Richard and Margaret (Peshall) Brent; 1. Robert, married 

Catherine , executor to his father, will dated 19 November, 1693, 

will proved 24 October, 1695. The following curious grant is men- 
tioned in Hotten's "Our Emigrant Ancestors " : 28 February, Grant to 
Robert Brent of all wrecks, &c, in or upon any of the Rocks, Shelves, 
seas or banks, on or near the coast of America between the Bermudas 
and Porto Rico or between Cartagena and the Havanna; 4. Jas. II, 
(1689). 2. Frances, died Dec. 20, 1656; 3. Mary, died April 3, 1657; 5.

THE WITCH OF CHESTNUT RIDGE

The following is a newspaper article from 1895 about my third great grandmother Deborah SHINAULT.

THE YADKIN VALLEY NEWS, Thursday, March 28, 1895

The Witch of the Chestnut Ridge Dead 

A correspondent gives the following account of the death of a noted character in this section. Deborah Johnson, nee Shinault, died at her home on Indian Graves Gap in Chestnut Ridge, a few days ago. she was 88 years old and had practied her craft since a young girl. She has relieved the palpitation of many young hearts in their first experience in courtship by assuring them that their suit would be finally successful. Many people came great distances to ascertain who was the thief when losing property or money, and many are the miraculous stories told of finding things by following her directions, such as bunch cotton burried in a swamp, money hid in hollow stumps, &c &c , One man, not many years ago, rode 18 miles and back to find out which way he should un his smut machine, whether with or against the sun. she advised him to run it with the sun. He returned home, followed her directions and succeeded in getting up a good flouring mill.

12 Ancestors in 12 Months Challenge #12in12

In 2015 I will be continuing the Ancestor List Project and starting a new challenge as well. 12 ancestors in 12 months. I know it sounds too dam easy but I have a lot of plates up in the air right now and am trying not to drop them. The hashtag will be #12in12. Hope you will continue reading with me...

It seems that I write better when I challenge myself or use themes so this should work out great.
See you in the tree.
